2020-2021 America Pandemic Adventures Filipino Solo Trip
May 24 to June 15, 2021
I revisited Ecuador due to (1) my homeland flight was re-scheduled a month after, (2) Ecuador cost of tourist living is very budget friendly with awesome colonial architecture and nature landscapes and (3) my multiple entry 3 months tourist visa is still valid.
America Pandemic Adventures Day 186 (Ecuador revisited): Ingapirca (Inca Wall) Archeological Ruins, Ecuador's mini-version of Machu Picchu, located at 3,160masl with admission fee of 2 USD. There's also an Inca Trail with 2-3 days hike heading to this place
America Pandemic Adventures Day 188 (Ecuador revisited): Cajas National Park Route #2, Difficult circuit trail Day Hike to Cerro San Luis (4,264masl) with 6km trail and 414m elevation gain
America Pandemic Adventures Day 202: My 28th Covid19 Test (PCR Nasal Swab for $45, result less than 24 hours), traveled to 22 countries across 4 continents within 10 months, ALL NEGATIVE RESULT. I have 2 Covid19 Vaccines both WHO approved; Sinopharm (2-shots Aug. 2020) and J&J (one-shot May 2021).
America Pandemic Adventures Day 205 (The Final Days): Homeland flight, from UTC -0700H to UTC +0800H with 15 hours flight. My last Philippine Airlines flight was year 2005. This trip served as the most expensive flight ticket I ever had, purchased only just day before. Uwing-uwi na si Mang Andoy. #livealifeyouwillremember
